    Stop blaming yourself! Most of the PhD applicants thought designating a new stream just for them was an advantage, so they didn't care so much about the reference letter! Unfortunately, we learned the importance of the reference letter the hard way!

    As TyrusX said, you are still under assessment, but it is not a bad idea to send them the hard copy of your POF. Anyway, they do not confirm receiving the documents usually! If they you were late in sending the POF, they would ask you to send them before the deadline. So I assume they received them.

    Did you apply for the CAIPS notes before or after the document request? As you got them before 3 months, I think it was before, am I right?
